Chapter 44: Drifting Life
In the endless ocean at a glance, a small wooden boat drifts on the sea, but there is a sense of loneliness and desolation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xia Aya and the others have been in this ocean world for three days, and the beautiful scenery of sunrise and sunset on the sea level has already felt a little tired, and the boat that drifts with the tide does not know where it will drift to, like a shipwreck in the ocean, can only follow the direction of the current, looking forward to the emergence of a new continent ahead.
Although the scenery on the ocean that will never change makes them feel a little boring, life is not only about appreciating the scenery on the roadside, but also about the things that happen on the road are the foundation of finding "pleasure" and making their mood comfortable.
Xia Aya and Su Qing sat in the bow of the boat, the other in the stern, and in the middle were a bed, a workbench and a furnace, like a simple but warm home.
I still remember that when they first came here, Xia Aya almost drowned in the sea because she couldn't swim, but fortunately, Su Qing had many years of experience in accompanying Xia Aya to the pool, every time the former "sank" in the pool, Su Qing helped her float to the surface, and over time, practice makes perfect, and this time Xia Aya was successfully rescued.
Oh no, it didn't go well, there was a little bit of a situation in between, but it didn't actually have any impact on the whole incident, except for Su Qing's blushing and shyness, it was no different from usual.
After all, Xia Aya had fallen into a semi-coma due to drowning at that time, and she didn't know what she had done during this period...... However, some embarrassing scenes were also avoided.
Having said that, Xia Aya was really obsessed with the little pure white fabric on Su Qing's body, Su Qing couldn't pull it off Xia Aya's hands anyway, or later, Su Qing helped Xia Aya press out the sea water that was choked into her abdomen, and after Xia Aya gradually regained consciousness, her hand slowly let go, and Su Qing quickly took it back.
This "giant ship" was naturally built by Su Qing directly through the great hands of the working people bit by bit...... Well, in fact, just throw a few wooden planks into the workbench, and a small flat boat will jump out of the "discharge outlet" of the workbench, and after gently throwing it into the water, it will become like this.
It's just that this boat is not the same as the speedboat in the game, you can place all kinds of blocks in it, and you can also lie on it and sleep soundly...... Although the price of this is that this flat boat can only go with the flow, and cannot obey Xia Aya's will to move as he wants.
As we all know, in the game, this kind of wooden boat may not be called a boat at all, but more appropriately called a speedboat - who has ever seen a boat that can move freely in the water without paddling or even sailing? And it's a speedboat, a few points faster than a minecart with powered rails, and it's not an exaggeration to call it a speedboat.
The boats here are a little more scientific in comparison.
Of course, they can actually make oars to help them move, it's just a matter of a stick and a plank, but ......
The first is that it is too physically demanding, too much energy to move with oars all the time, and it doesn't make sense to do it - they don't know where to go, in other words, they don't know where to go, and they don't have any hints in their minds, so they can only wander around the ocean like headless flies.
So, instead of wasting time and effort to paddle, it is better to go with the flow and let it drift - of course, although this speed may be slower, they are already working on something that can speed up the ship, such as the flag in Su Qing's hand, which is intended to be used as a sail.
Actually, there's one most important reason why they don't use oars - neither of them would use it! They don't want to experience a capsized! That's not good!
Although the floating life in the ocean made the two of them still have many unaccustomed places - for example, they can only bathe in the seawater, and there is too much salt in the seawater, and every time they dry their bodies, they will feel sticky and very uncomfortable.
However, this kind of life is actually quite interesting, and this watery environment solves the problem of insufficient water that they feared before, and by distilling seawater in a furnace, they can get clean and pure water, and it is said that it also contains a variety of minerals, which is extremely beneficial to the human body.
-- However, it is only "beneficial" that is not useful.
Then again, the furnace has a wide range of functions, even if it is to bake food, smelt mineral steel, put clothes in it to dry, and distill pure water, it is really inexpensive, and it is made of eight rough stones, and it can be used for more than some high-tech modern furniture on earth.
As for what is so interesting about this aimless wandering life in the vast ocean...... Do you need to ask?
Fishing, of course! Human beings will always find fun when they are bored, and there is a famous saying in the ancient Celestial Empire that there is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs itself - although it seems a little wrong to use it here, but it is all the same truth.
Fishing and fishing, in a long, long time ago, in the ancient period, is a very widespread skill, when people mostly obtained food in this way, food is a necessity for survival, after all, compared to the cattle and sheep on the grassland, wild boars in the jungle, fish is the easiest food resources to obtain, without spending a lot of energy, and even sometimes take great risks to hunt cunning animals.
Later, human civilization began to develop, and fish was also the main source of food, and at that time, there was a profession of "fisherman", taking boats, using special tools such as fishing nets, to catch marine fish, freshwater fish, and so on.
However, at that time, although the main purpose of fishing was still for food and livelihood, because humans had mastered animal husbandry technology, it was no longer so difficult to obtain food, so another way of fishing, which was extremely inefficient compared to fishing nets, gradually turned into an activity to cultivate sentiment.
To put it down-to-earth, that is, the ancients felt that life was too boring, and they didn't do good fishing, so they had to use that small hook to fish, wasting time and energy, and it was also known as cultivating sentiment and nourishing body and mind; What's more, there is an allusion to "Jiang Taigong's fishing wisher takes the bait", a typical one who has nothing to do when he is full.
